Chapter 298 Astartes Lives to Die
A lake six hundred kilometers away from the human fortress where the fierce battle is taking place.
A tall anemone-shaped tower rises above the lake.
The huge tentacles are deeply rooted in the lake, swallowing up the water. The water area, several square kilometers wide, has dried up by half.
The tentacles and the barnacle-like body present the unique chitin texture of Tyranid creatures, and the biomass shell is as thick as rock. This is not only a building, but also a nest, and even more a huge living thing.
A large number of flying soldier insects are flying around this huge nest, like a swarm of alert bees.
There are millions of soldier insects on the ground, quietly deployed around the nest to serve as guards.
It seems that there is something very important to the Zerg in this giant nest.
Suddenly, countless burning fireballs fell from the sky with a roar.
Smash into the Zerg nest.
The soldier insects in charge of guarding responded immediately, and living shells and flying soldier insects filled the sky to intercept the falling fireballs.
boom--
A large number of fireballs exploded in the air, and the spreading flames turned the sky into a sea of fire.
Then some faster black shadows flashed through the sea of fire and landed around the Zerg nest.
Some even smashed through the thick outer wall of the Zerg nest and drilled into the interior of the nest.
These black shadows were actually triangular cone-shaped airdrop pods.
One by one, the gray-painted God-cast Astartes warriors jumped out of the airdrop pods.
Without saying a word, they opened fire fiercely and rushed into the Zerg nest.
These Astartes warriors are equipped with jet packs, allowing them to maneuver quickly and flexibly.
While using nuclear rocket launchers and black hole grenades to clear a path, he advanced rapidly and passed the blocking soldier bugs.
Finally, after a small amount of casualties, they reunited at the entrance of the Zerg nest.
An assault company consisting of more than 300 God-cast Astartes warriors launched a swift assault deep into the nest.
"1300 meters to the target!"
"The front row switches to melee weapons, the back row switches to melta guns!"
The person in charge of commanding this assault company was Julius Wilstrange.
He was once the captain of the 2nd Company of the Ash Claws, and is now the captain of E Company, the 4th Regiment of the Legion of Hope.
Under the command of Julius, the Space Marines used powerful weapons to efficiently slaughter the soldier insects that poured out from all directions from the pipe holes.
Swift as a spear.
Although the insects continued to pour out, they were unable to stop their progress.
The indiscriminate killing while trapped in the siege made these Astartes extremely excited and happy.
"Hahaha!"
"Julius, how long has it been since we had such a good fight?"
Michal, Julius' old comrade and company champion of the year, laughed.
After undergoing divine forging surgery and being equipped with brand new weapons, the strength of these Astartes veterans has increased several times. The high-level soldier bugs that were difficult to deal with before can now be killed in just a few moves.
It feels so good. It feels so fucking good!
Julius did not answer, but seriously questioned the warrior holding the energy detector.
“How far is it from the goal?”
"Very close, four hundred meters to go!"
"Speed up and keep charging!"
As the commandos advanced, they got closer and closer to the core of the Zerg nest. More and more high-level soldier worms such as Brain Worms, Likarts, and Tyrant Guards appeared, causing considerable trouble to the Space Marines.
The Space Marines did not retreat.
"The Legion of Hope, live towards death!"
"For the Emperor!"
"For humanity!"
"For hope!"
The soldiers shouted battle slogans, stepped over the corpses of their comrades, and fearlessly rushed towards the swarm of insects.
The think tank warriors threw out psychic lightning, and the lightning chain jumped in the passage, causing a large number of soldier insects to become stiff.
The warrior holding the power sword and power claw took the opportunity to rush forward, killed it quickly and swiftly, and advanced forward for a distance.
buzzing...
A group of suicide flying insects emerged from the pipe, appeared behind the commandos, and dived down at an accelerated speed.
boom!
A ball of white light first erupted behind the commandos, and the halo spread backwards in a fan shape.
White light quickly swept across the swarm of insects, and the diving exploding flying insects and charging assassin soldier insects suddenly went into slow motion, almost standing still.
Bang bang bang!
The grenade launcher roared, and one bomb after another penetrated into the stasis field and accurately hit the explosive flying insects that were attacking by surprise.
Then the stasis field failed, and the exploding flying insects exploded in the air, killing hundreds of unlucky soldier insects around them.
Relying on a variety of special weapons and tacit cooperation, the Space Marine Commandos steadily attacked towards their target.
After killing their way through a tunnel filled with soldier bugs, they finally arrived at the high-energy reaction site in the detector.
A super hall that could almost accommodate a starship appeared in front of everyone.
Surrounding the hall is a circle of giant incubation chambers that are hundreds of meters high. The silkworm-like incubation chambers are filled with nutrient solution. In each incubation chamber, a Titan worm that is over a hundred meters tall is hatching.
Some are still unformed, while others are angular and almost mature.
As the Space Marines rushed into the hatchery hall, the Titan insects in the hatchery became restless.
Those that are about to mature are even struggling to break out of their shells.
Julius's face darkened.
He gave a decisive order: "Set up explosives and prepare to retreat!"
The few soldiers carrying steel backpacks who were protected in the center by the commandos from beginning to end took off their backpacks and quickly formed a group.
Then he pressed the red button.
A red countdown immediately appeared on the display screen on top of the device.
【00:00:30】
As the device's mechanism transforms, destructive energy brews within it.
Julius led the remaining Space Marines to surround the device in layers to block the Zerg that tried to approach and destroy it.
When there were ten seconds left in the countdown, the Space Marines began to emit teleportation lights, and their figures turned into white light and disappeared one by one.
When the last Space Marine was teleported away, there were only two seconds left on the countdown.
Hundreds of living shells fired at the beeping devices left by the Space Marines.
But just before these attacks were about to touch the device, the countdown ended.
hum-
White light burst out, and a strange buzzing sound spread along with the black color in the center of the white light.
A mass of pure darkness replaced the device, expanding from the center of the hall and engulfing everything around it.
Soldier bugs, Tyranid giant bugs, Zerg nests, and even the rocky ground were torn apart and devoured by this darkness.
After just a few seconds.
After expanding to its limit, the black ball flickered and shrank a few times before suddenly exploding.
Along with hundreds of thousands of soldier insects in the surrounding wilderness, they were destroyed.
Where the Zerg nest originally lay, only a sinkhole with a diameter of nearly ten kilometers remained.
Everything disappeared.
outer space.
On the transmission deck of a human warship in the planet's orbit, shuttling through artillery fire.
White light flashed, and the commandos appeared on the transmission deck one by one.
Julius sighed secretly as he looked at the 300-odd brothers left.
After one mission, more than two hundred brothers were killed...
Without waiting for Julius to continue feeling sad.
Orders from the command deck came over the battleship's radio.
[Company E, listen up, resupply weapons and ammunition immediately, and carry out the next mission in twenty minutes! ]
